Zen Alarm Clocks

Zen Alarm Clocks are available in the three wood finish options shown on this page. Each wood finish is available in a variety of dial face choices. The Zen Alarm Clock's long-resonating Tibetan bell-like chime makes waking up a beautiful experience — its progressive chimes begin your day with grace.

Honey Wood Finish

Item Nr.: NZ7569F

Size: 28 x 9 x 22 cm
h:w:d 8" x 11" x 3"
Weight: 1,4 kg

Tone: E
Dial face: Japanese Leaves

When the Clock's alarm is triggered, the acoustic chime bar is struck just once … 3-1/2 minutes later it strikes again … chime strikes become more frequent over 10 minutes … eventually striking every 5 seconds until shut off (see the chime progression graph, below). As they become more frequent, the gentle chimes will always wake you up — your body really doesn't need to be awakened harshly, with a Zen Clock you're awakened more gradually and thus more naturally.

Each Zen Clock's 'E tone' chime has been hand-tuned to produce the same tone as the tuning forks used by musical therapists. The 10 minute chime progression sequence follows the "golden ratio progression" shown in the graph:

Zen Clocks are made with a Japanese quartz movement and measure 8" high x 11" wide x 3" deep. They run on 4 "C" batteries (not included). Average battery life with everyday use is about 2 years.

Zen Clocks come with a 40 page booklet detailing their many uses and their harmonic design. All Now & Zen™ products are designed in Boulder, Colorado, and made in Shen Zhen, China.

Solid Maple Hardwood Case

Item Nr.: NZ4458M

Size: 19,5 x 6 x 6,5 cm
l: 7,5"
Weight: 720 g

Tone: B
Faceplate: brass

This precision timepiece can be programmed to countdown to zero and chime, or to strike its chime repeatedly at any set interval. In the alarm clock or countdown timer modes, the Clock's chime gradually increases through a pre-programmed 10 minute progression (shown below). It can also be set to chime once every hour on the hour as a 'mindfulness chime.'

Strike diagram

Digital Zen Clocks feature a silent striking mechanism with a "high" and "low" chime volume control, which allows you to adjust the sound of the chime to suit your needs. The Digital Zen Clock runs on 2 AA batteries (not included), and it has a lighted digital display (lit full-time when plugged in with the included AC jack). Digital Zen Clocks come in two sizes: a 7.5 inch "B Tone" chime, and a 9.5 inch "E Tone" chime.

The longer E Tone uses the same chime as our original triangular Zen Clock. The B Tone and the E Tone are both available in bamboo, solid walnut and solid maple (with a brass control panel). All Digital Zen Clocks include a 30 page booklet detailing their many uses and their harmonic design. All Now & Zen™ products are designed in Boulder, Colorado, and assembled in Shenzhen, China.

Zen TimePiece

As a result of ten years of product evolution at Now & Zen, we have created the world's ultimate alarm clock, practice timer, and "mindfulness bell." Our new Zen Timepiece's acoustic 6 inch brass bowl-gong fills your environment with beautifully complex tones whenever it strikes. In the morning, its exquisite sounds summon your consciousness into awakening with a series of subtle gongs that provide an elegant beginning to your day.

Weight: 770 g

Bowl & faceplate: brass

When the alarm is triggered, the gong strikes just once … then automatically, it strikes again in 3-1/2 minutes … then in 2 minutes … then in 1 minute … As shown in the chart below, the gong strikes gradually increase over 10 minutes, eventually striking every 5 seconds until turned off. Once you experience the Zen Timepiece's progressive awakening, you'll never want to wake up any other way.

Strike diagram

In addition to its use as an alarm clock, The Zen Timepiece also serves as an aesthetically-sophisticated timing device for the practice of yoga, meditation, bodywork, or any activity where beauty and tranquility are important. Upon reaching the end of the programmable countdown time, the clock strikes through the same 10 minute progression sequence as the alarm function described above. In the interval timer mode it can be set to strike its gong repeatedly at any time interval. The interval timer's repeating gong strikes are perfect for yoga, wherein the rich sound of the gong guides you through your practice by periodically signaling the time to change positions. The Zen Timepiece also includes a strike-on-the-hour function that is a true delight for your home or office, and perfect for the practice of 'mindfulness.'

In addition to the beauty of its sound, the Zen Timepiece is also visually beautiful, serving as a decorative accessory that can be positioned with the digital clock display facing out, or with the bowl-gong to the front, as shown on the left side. It is available in either a clear maple wood finish or a reddish-brown cherry wood finish and comes with a brass bowl. The volume of the Zen Timepiece's gong strikes can be adjusted over a wide range, from soft, subtle ring tones to loud, bold gongs that can be heard throughout the house.
